Do you know what state that is in?

[Tabby]

Whoo, that's scary.

Do you know what state that is in?

Brunswick County is in my own state of North Carolina.

Woohoo!

I'll be two counties away in Robeson County visiting family over the weekend. I'll see if I can find the time to go down there, or just check around to see if anything like that is popping up on the way.

Unfortunately my digital camera is the Bane of Batteries, so won't be able to record anything.

Cool.

I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Is that just a medical bus? Why no windows?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambulance_bus

Quarantine and isolation buses
Some ambulance buses have a sealed bulkhead that separates the driver compartment from the patient compartment. The equivalent functionality of the ambulance buses may also be built into "trucks, tractor-trailers, trains, subway cars, railroad cars or airplanes[2]". These mass evacuation buses are well suited to being used for quarantine and containment [3].

Old idea,revisited?
http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/NAZI%20GAS%20VANS.htm

One of several methods used was the gas van. Such vans were first deployed in 1940 in “Euthanasia” operations. Hitler delegated the “Euthanasia” operation to Reichsleiter Philip Bouhler, Dr. Karl Brandt, and several doctors of their choice. The targets were several German population groups: the mentally ill or retarded, the chronically ill, and criminals. At first, the murders were carried out in fixed, sealed chambers, into which carbon monoxide gas was pumped from metal canisters. In addition, some were killed by lethal injections and by shooting. Gas vans were first used in 1940, when Polish mentally ill children were locked in a sealed van and killed by carbon monoxide.

.

The RSHA office II D 3a was responsible for construction, employment, drivers and provision with spare parts for the gas vans. During WW2 two types were used: small gas vans with more than 3 ton payload for about 50 persons (Diamond Reo, Opel Blitz and a Renault type) and larger ones with approximately 5 ton payload for around 70 victims (Saurer and Magirus). The wagons had an air sealed car-body and looked externally like ordinary furniture vans. With a removable tube, the exhaust fumes could be lead into the van body. A barred lamp could light up the interior.

Nothing to see here. They're just finally gathering up the poor souls who have been trapped here...

Thats an idea. But I think it's more along the lines of controlled disease outbreak.

If you can, try not to use the LCD monitor on it much. That is what eats battery power.

It would be interesting to call the County and see what they said about this.

Exellent idea. Let me know what you find out!

[sedele]

Yeah. What did you find out?

[acptulsa]

Tell Grey Falcon that there was no such thing as a Diamond Reo in the 1940s.

[LibertyEagle]

Give me the phone number and I'll call, if you do not have the spine. ;)

Aren't you the same man who was saying that men should be the only ones who vote, that women should stay home taking care of their man, etc.? But, you don't have the courage to make a simple phone call? :rolleyes:

Yes, a mistake on their part, though irrelevant.
REO and Diamond were incorporated later.
I believe this is what was meant.

I'm sure you can find the area code on your own.

Very possibly. Don't know which was the bigger exporter at the time. But I do know I prefer this side of the eventual merger:

It's 910.

I talked to the front office person and she just said it was for mass evacuation of patients, in case there was a major accident of some kind. Duh.

I pushed and she transferred me to the EMS Director of Training. I got his voicemail and wasn't anxious to leave my name and number, so I'll call back later, unless one of the big, strong, men call first. ;)
